The colourful pic at the top of the page and the script at the bottom seem to indicate otherwise.

Text Properties

As previously mentioned, the '0' after the first escape sequence is the default color setting for the text of the shell prompt. For the text properties the following values make sense: 0, 1, 22, 4, 24, 5, 25, 7, 27 with the following meaning: default, bold, not bold, underlined, not underlined, blinking and not blinking, invers, not invers.

With the help of the following short script we can have a look at the color combinations.

Way to go balding_parrot!. Now I've gone and jacked with my .bashrc and screwed it all up!! I fixed most of it, but i'm still a Linux Novice..and something told me not to **** with this..but did I listen?? NNOooooo! I need just a little help with this stuff. I did this command in an empty shell window...

export PS1="\[\e[36;1m\]\[\e[34;1m\]\H \[\e[0m\]"

and it made my "prompt" go from

{-=Xploitz=-}~ #

to......

{-=Xploitz=-}

Which is what I want. But where do I put it my .bashrc when I do ..

nano /root/.bashrc

This is what it looks like after i tried to edit it with the above export PS1..etc..

I know I don't have that in the right spot...so where do i put it?? I want it to be permanent. So upon boot up I don't have to type in export PS1="\[\e[36;1m\]\[\e[34;1m\]\H \[\e[0m\]" all the time. What I bolded is what I changed...lol..and now i fear I need to copy and paste someones "virgin" .bashrc over mine cause I ****ed with it 2 much. So could someone please post theirs up for me?? Thanks!
